A 7k-in . step from the outside laminates to the middle one should be adequate to handle most rabbet depths. The middle lamination should be juSt slightly thicker than the chisel is wide, then dressed down with a rasp after assembly. Bandsaw the laminated blank to the desired shape, install a Y4-in. steel pin across the throat, then fit a wedge to hold the Laminate plane body blocks. This allows the clamp to be tightened at any size with only a few turns. The corner blocks can be made from either plywood or aluminum (try the high-school metal shop for casting work) . To make the split-nuts, center two pieces of %J-in. by %-in. by 2-in. cold-drawn steel in the four-jaw chuck of a metal lathe. All operations can be made from this initial setup, except boring the relief and the tie-wire holes. To keep the nut halves in mating pairs, pass a short piece of braided flexible cable (used on radio and each nut half and secure each wire end with a ball of solder. -Brad Dimon, Swanton, Vt.
